Don't scrutinize too closely, after 6 months away, I'm more or less back to square one with painting. These are my Port Royal "finished" militia. Might brave given them eyes tonight and try to healthy up the skin tone of some of them given they're supposed to be in Jamaica.

I’m going to start a running thread to catalogue the examples of the Government refusing to use power to safeguard itself, and British democracy from the obvious right wing populist threat.

I do not understand the Labour government's reticence over defending the BBC and social media regulation. Their long-term survival basically depends on it. Their cowardice in the face of it may be the single thing they are most remembered for.

Slowly picking up where I left off in February when I stopped painting to focus on the house move. I think I need some new brushes, but I'm also out of practice. Look at these surly European Militia over in Jamaica out to spoil an honest pirate's good day.

I've been in the industry for 32 years and 4years at Auroch as of this October. So I did a thing for work, getting a bit misty eyed over days gone by and how the industry has transformed. Biggest challenge was cutting it from 7000 to less than 2000 words.

It was actually Brookline and the behaviour or players and fans that had me tap out of the Ryder Cup. The fans there reflect the behaviour of their golfing leader - rude, aggressive, no shame.

Oh fuck off Everton, we need to build positivity around the club and he puts a shite team out and we get turned over by the side bottom of the league. Nice to see one of the things that never changes with Moyes is he never takes the fucking League Cup seriously.

Speaks volumes of the change to Everton, we'd have bitten your arm off for a point at home to Aston Villa last season. Now it feels like we should have wrapped it up in the first half.

Night and day this Everton performance. Laughably poor for the opening 20-odd minutes and deservedly rag ragged by Liverpool, but absolutely dominating since.

Reported for removal to Arun council because council contractors famously do their best work under cover of darkness. It looks like a flag shop has vomited on the village square.
